The Sheffield United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny could be facing a ban of up to two years after failing a drugs test, according to reports. Kenny, 31, has been suspended by his club over the matter, which occurred during the Championship play-off semi-final with Preston.

The Republic of Ireland international failed tests on both A and B samples, and must now wait to hear of his punishment from the authorities. It is believed that the banned substance may have come from a medicine that Kenny bought from an over-the-counter chemists.
